I'm looking for an aggressive all terrain tire that will last with high highway miles. Size will be 275/65r20. Thinking about bfg's, toyo, cooper, or nitto. Thanks for input

All terrain, however not the most aggressive, but you will be happier when driving on the Hwy. Michelin LTX A/T2

Check out the Falken Wild Peak A/T. It does not look aggressive but it has been a great overall tire, I have had mine for 2 years and they show very little wear. If you are willing to spend more check out the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, it looks aggressive and is considered one of the best A/T.

That's like asking 'what's the best ice cream flavor?' :dunno:

 

There are a few new types of tires on the market that are more aggressive than the past typical AT tires, and bridge the gap between AT and MT.

 

The new Toyo OC RT, Cepek Fun Country AT, Mickey Thompson ATZ, Cooper ST Maxx, and others are some examples.

 

You said "aggressive" so I would put my money on the Toyo OC RT or the Cooper ST Maxx. Actually, I did put my money on the Cooper ST Maxx.

Has anyone seen the new BFG AT ko2's? They look good. Could be a good option but I'm not even sure they're for sale yet.

I like the looks of the KO2 as well. I had KOs on my old truck and they were really quiet. I think they're supposed to release them on Nov 1.

This is what I'm thinking of.. KO2s aren't out till early next month, but they look nice.

 

I've also been considering the Toyo OC AT. since I'm keeping stock size I don't want the side wall TOO aggressive.

 

Heard lots of good things about the OC RT though. It's a hybrid between the MT and AT. You get them ore aggressive tread and sidewall without the noise and wear of an MT. I think it's a smart move from Toyo.

 

I'm probably 95% on road, and my offroading is 99% gravel, maybe 1% clay/grass/leaves so I don't need some super swampers myself.

 

Nitto terra grapplers are fairly nice but the sidewall doesn't really leave me saying "aggressive." I think you'd need their MT to really get that.

 

It's all about the sidewall these days. Plenty of tires can do well offroad, but wont LOOK aggressive.

Nitto also has trail grapplers which are an aggressive all terrain, one step under their mud tires

Take a look at Cooper ZEON LTZ's I ran two sets on my 07 model and got about 45K miles a set. Mostly Highway miles and they are quiet and aggressive.

Not sure if it matters to you or not, but most of the tires in this size (275-65-20) are going to be LT series tires. I just had Bridgestone Dueler A/T's in that size installed last week, and there is a definate difference between the "P" tires and "LT" tires. They are heavier, so you typically lose a mpg or two because of that, and then with them being 10 ply (vs 4 ply on the "P"s) the LT tires ride a bit rougher than the stock tires. As for my input on the Bridgestone A/T's.....its only been a week so the jury is still undecided. Haven't had them off road yet, but in the rain they did quite well, and on the highway, they have just a little hum to them. And as I said, I probably lost a MPG or so, as well as the ride being a little rougher than stock was.

Check out the Hankook Dyna pro ATM as well. I ran a set of cooper LTZ on my last vehicle. They were quiet, looked good, and performed well in gravel. Not great in snow (not sure where you're located). I went with the toyo OC At2 and am very happy with them other than the 10 ply ride. The Hankooks I mentioned look great for a "p" rated tire.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
